AB  - BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology is a viable 
      option for short-term support in the setting of acute cardiac ischemia. To 
      supplement cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in select patients, ECMO is used 
      successfully for witnessed in hospital cardiac arrest. In the setting of an acute 
      myocardial infarction (MI), bridging to a revascularization procedure is 
      important in improving overall survival. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the first 
      known case of a 56-year-old Caucasian male with an anterior ST elevation 
      myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention 
      (PCI) in which the entire procedure was carried out with the patient being in 
      persistent ventricular fibrillation (VF) resistant to defibrillation on ECMO 
      support. Subsequent to revascularization, the patient's cardiac rhythm converted 
      back to sinus rhythm with a single defibrillation shock with excellent neurologic 
      recovery. CONCLUSION: Our case highlights the importance of early initiation of 
      ECMO during PCI in achieving both improved cardiac and neurological outcomes 
      during an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
